I always thought he had loss 20 before his first fight with apollo. He lost via split decision(I'd like to know what fight the one judge who scored that fight for rocky was watching, I believe he went on to score Tarver-Jones I.) He knocked out Apollo after trailing 13 rounds to 1, if the announcers were accurate, I believe it was the 9th round that rocky won. and of course he loss to Clubber, I still wonder who won the no camera's no reporters rubber match between apollo and rocky at the end of rocky III.
